Hyrule Warriors Takes Us To The Twilight Lands With Midna, Agitha, And Newcomer Lana

Hyrule Warriors brings characters from the long running Legend of Zelda series together for a Dynasty Warriors style hack and slash game. Lana the White Witch is a new character made for the Wii U game. She uses a magic book that creates walls and conjures the elements.

Many characters from The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess are in Hyrule Warriors too. Midna and Agitha are playable characters. New Hyrule Warriors screenshots show the menacing moon from The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask and Midna using the hookshot. Zant and the Argorok from Twilight Princess appear as enemies in Hyrule Warriors.

Midna

Here’s a look at the The Twilight Lands in Hyrule Warriors.

Hyrule Warriors comes out on August 14 in Japan, September 19 in Europe, and September 26 in North America.

I hope these renders are for playable characters and the demo roster slot will go beyond 9 characters.

If the villains are playable (which I’m really hoping they are) then we technically already have 10 characters once you include Zant, Cia, Valga, and Wizzro.

doubleO7

Possibly 11, if you count Ganondorf’s tease at the end of the E3 trailer.

Stephen Mc Devitt

Or perhaps the game will have far more than 10 for fanservice-value.

celery

I’m definitely hoping so! Maybe not as much as your average DW game because that would be quite a big leap in terms of a Zelda game, but I’m seriously hoping for at least 20. There are plenty of great characters in the franchise to choose from, after all!

so HNNNNGGG

Ahh… Agitha is still as cute as ever! And you just gotta love Midna’s smirk as well.

Speaking of which, I can’t believe how many people still call “Midna” as “Minda”…

Linhua

… wow… I never even knew that name was floating around… XD

Daniel

Who the hell is Minda???!!!

TrueDefault

Lana is such a cutie! I am still on the fence about buying it. According to some rumours, this game only has around 9 playable characters. That doesn’t sound as many as I’d like.

pekikuubik

Every character seems to have several weapon sets. Also, there are DLC costumes.

Quality with variety over quantity.

Ixbran

Eiji Aonuma has gone on record saying there will be a total of “52 play styles” and that the games cast will have an equal male to female playable character ratio. So yea, the game is obviously going to have more than just 9 characters.

Stephen Mc Devitt

Oh thank goodness. I really wanna play Zant.

BleuVII

You can keep your Zant. I want to play as Vaati!

celery

What about both? ;u;

BleuVII

Okay. You’ve convinced me. :)

TrueDefault

Really?!! Then I’m definitely getting it! I was worrying for nothing then!

Alexander Marquis Starkey

As you can see, he is mistaken. That said, that rumor is pretty much disproven. The roster his half female, which means the other half is male. Between all of the girls, one being a rather out of no where add, we are in no way stoping at 9, and with the reveals being two characters at a time, and reveals being bi-weekly, we’d see all of the characters revealed by the end of next month. Character reveals in the warriors games usually go til just before the game releases, so we are due a lot more.

Muffum

No, he hasn’t. When talking about how many players can play at the same time, he mentioned “dou ji ni,” meaning at the same time. People misheard this as “go ju ni,” 52, and thought that he misinterpreted the question as the number of playable characters.

So really, he hasn’t said anything about number of playable characters or play styles besides it being “a lot,” which could mean anything.

Alexander Marquis Starkey

That 52 characters thing was picked out of in interview and in Engrish. I don’t trust that number as that is too damn many for the 1st game.

MrJechgo

Midna pulling the moon down with a hook shot = WIN!

PlatinumMad

Cute loli + Gigantic shinning bugs wrecking shit
Awesome

Multi-Track Drifting

How come no one said they wanted The Groose?!

Giant bugs uuuuuugh
As much as I like Agitha and her umbrella………..

Prinnydoom

So far, aside from link, all of the other playable characters are female. This isn’t a big problem, I’m just wondering when link became a pimp.

kyrt

Link ain’t the pimp, Zelda is.

MDH

Circa Ocarina of Time.

Zelda, Saria, Malon, Ruto, Nabooru, Impa…

Prinnydoom

Dude gets around.

celery

Just because there are lots of female characters doesn’t make this a harem game, nor does it make Link a “pimp.”

Prinnydoom

At no point did I say this was a harem game. Simply pointing something out, by the way even if it were only link as the single male character that would not take anything away from it whatsoever. Lighten up.

celery

I’m not saying it would “take anything away from it” if Link was the only male character. I’m actually really pleased at how many female characters are being included. I’m just tired of seeing people act like the female characters are only included because Link is “such a pimp.” They’re in the game to kick serious butt, not to be Link’s romance accessories.

Prinnydoom

Hmmm Alright. You made a good argument there now I see what your getting at. And yeah Zelda and all the rest are looking really fun and interesting characters. Anyway I was only kidding man, I am sure they all have a reason for being there otherwise the story wouldn’t be any good would it.

celery

Thanks! I didn’t mean to jump at you or anything, but I’ve seen people elsewhere actually think the reason why there are so many female characters is because it’s supposed to be “harem themed” and it’s like…wow, can’t those people enjoy the game for what it really is? It’s good to know you were only joking around, what with those other kinds of people actually thinking that way.

David García Abril

Indeed.

This starts to look like a harem game! lol

Stephen Mc Devitt

Is there no way Zant could be a playable character? Come on Nintendo, Omega Force and Team Ninja, let us play the villains as well as the heroes.

Justin Graham

Given the past history of the Warriors series, it would be more surprising if the villains weren’t playable. Players have been wrecking dudes as Char in the Gundam series and Raoh in Fist of the North Star for a long while now.

Alexander Marquis Starkey

*looks at Pirate Warriors* non it wouldn’t.

Chaos_Knight

*Lana love intensifies*

fairysun

Lana, hmmm, whom does she remind me of?

exrazer

WHo?

Justin Graham

Xiaoqiao from Dynasty Warriors. The resemblance is amusing, and I have to admit that it would be hysterical if Lana had Xiaoqiao’s ultra-perky personality.

exrazer

I’ve never played the dynasty series. That’s probably why. Thanks for clearing that up!

Mastery

Uh, Aqua?

Strawberry Starlet

Ok. I’m freakishly pumped for this game.

Horse Boots

I’m genuinely shocked no one has bothered to point out that Lana clearly isn’t Hylian. Notice how she doesn’t have the trademark pointed ears like every other Zelda character?

Brimfyre

Pretty genius on Nintendo’s part. This pretty much guarantees that even if they don’t do another Hyrule Warriors, the characters made exclusively for this game will be featured in future DW games as cameo characters, but only on Nintendo consoles. So you will only get Lana in the Wii U version of Warriors Orochi 25 or whatever number they are on.

Not a big deal in the West, but a pretty big boon for the Eastern market.

Kornelious

So many waifu’s in this game! Lana is just to pretty to have to wait 3 months to play <3

Also I see Zant will be a boss……Though i doubt it will be that awesome, 6-Part, crazy battle in Twilight Princess….But that's ok, at least we get to take him down twice now! :D
